As years went by, he got more roles in such TV series as "Soul Food", "Conviction", "Best Friend's Date", "The Borders", "Sophie" and "Being Erica".

Drake made his debut on Billboard Hot 100 through "Best I Ever Had", the single in "So Far Gone". Having no featured guest on the hook, this track climbed to number 18 on the U.S. singles chart. It also peaked at number 1 on Billboard Hot Rap Tracks and at number 2 on Billboard R&B/Hip-Hop Songs chart.

He also remixed one of her songs "Fallen", adding lines "Keshia, Keshia, do you remember the old us? They said we'd never be together that's what they told us. Immature kids, to entrepreneur kids" to the track.
In 2009, Drake was rumored to embark on
a love relationship with Rihanna. He was said kissing the Barbadian singer at Lucky Strike Lanes & Lounge on West 42nd Street in mid May that year. However, the speculation soon came to an end after he denied it during an interview on New York's Hot 97 radio station.
In June 2009, Drake threatened to sue a label named Canadian Money Entertainment over unauthorized album called "The Girls Love Drake", which was a compilation of selected songs from his "So Far Gone" mixtape. There were many samples, some of which were from David Banner, Goapele and Colun Munroe, in the record which hadn't been cleared, and his manager Al Branch was concerned about the possibly of him being sued over illegal samples.
"This is a straight bootleg, a scandal. We are behind promoting records at radio, but haven't sold it," Branch said. "iTunes' position is that they are a store and they stock everything. They have a waiver and as long as people sign it and are responsible for the product they submit, then they go for it."
However, Peter Greenwood from Money Entertainment defended their action, stating, "'The Girls Love Drake' was just a combination of new and old ...
songs that we had been promoting on the underground scene for the last six months and so we wanted to get more exposure for it on the net. Breaking him in the states along with other Toronto artists has always been our goal. Drake is our hometown hero."
Being considered as one of rising stars, Drake received several record deal offers from major labels. There were at least three giant companies, including Universal Motown and Atlantic Records, which were involved in "one of the biggest bidding wars ever" to get Drake signed up to their company. One of the labels reportedly had offered $2 million dollars to persuade the young artist to join them.
Drake has been working on his debut studio album "Thank Me Later" since 2008. Beside cooking up materials for his own record, he is also involved in the making of Weezy's rock-themed effort "REBIRTH" and Rihanna's new album.
